Fondation Beyeler Online Shop
The online shop of the Fondation Beyeler – the most visited art museum in Switzerland – is being rebuilt from scratch. A sophisticated navigation structure provides access to hundreds of products in a variety of ways. Besides high-quality posters and a range of design objects, these include limited editions by contemporary artists, so that not only design lovers but also collectors will find something to their taste.
The online shop is designed and produced by neko interactive; Mark Niedermann contributes the photographs and Patrick Schrag writes the copy. My role covers the entire technical implementation. A “high-fidelity” HTML prototype provides an initial verification of design and interaction and forms the basis for the final implementation. The trilingual online shop is being developed as a lightweight solution in PHP. An interface to the inventory management system ensures seamless integration into the museum shop's existing product management and ordering processes.
A later version will add the ticket shop. The external booking platform will be replaced and ticket sales integrated into the online shop. The connection to the POS system ensures that the ticket quotas available for booking online are always up to date. Issued e-tickets are sent to the customer as a PDF and activated in the POS system, so that they are valid immediately at the admission check.
